Ed Ruth angling for rematch against Neiman Gracie, bouts vs. Melvin Manhoef, ‘MVP’

Less than one month after his victory over Kiichi Kunimoto at Bellator 224, Ed Ruth is raring and ready to get back in the cage.

In a Wednesday appearance on MMA Junkie Radio, Ruth (7-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) threw out a couple of names that tickle his fancy when he thinks about his next bout.

“There’s Melvin Manhoef,” Ruth said. “There’s MVP (Michael Page). There’s Rory (MacDonald) – the guy who holds the belt, (but) he has (Douglas) Lima. I’ll even take a rematch. I’m not scared to face somebody that I’ve lost to before. Just to show I’ve overcome some boundaries (and) limitations. Obviously I love going against people I’ve fought before, but honestly, anybody they want to throw my way. I keep telling them I’m ready for anybody.”
